still better than the woman i saw who just couldn't figure out how to step off the ******* thing, and who started emitting a high-pitched whine as she got close and closer to the top.

I also love the people who have no one in front of them, but absolutely wait until the last second to take a step. Look, I can live with the fact that you don't want to walk up the escalator and just want to stand, that's fine. But if you aren't carrying a bunch of bags or have a little kid, when you're like 3 steps from the top, start walking.

Also on the topic of me loathing the general public as a whole, I can't stand people that can't examine common courtesies when entering an elevator, the bus, a train, etc. How hard is it to wait 5 seconds while everyone exits? Oh, see that 70 year old woman waiting next to you, you should let her on before you. No, don't steal the last seat available from the pregnant woman, it won't kill you to stand for 10 minutes.

How about people just plain being in the way?

Like, slow moving groups of people who decide to take up the whole sidewalk and then give you a ****** look when you force your way past them. I'm sorry I don't feel like walking at obese couple speed...

In socal, revolving doors are more of a gimmick since it doesn't really get cold enough for them to be useful. Most of the times they're at restaurants with regular doors on the side. The nice thing about waiting to be seated is seeing people go full ****** with the revolving door.

Sorry about the power man. The worst thing in the world is no power and not knowing when it's coming back. Back in the day i could go days without a shower when wearing drab green but now it's not even fun to skip one day out of the shower.

I called my brother who has a summer cottage on the shore up in N.H. (they do actually have a coast line) and he said he was in town and his power went out and had to go down to the beach to find power. Now that's some backwards ****.

Sucks to hear man, sorry. Believe it or not, there are still small localized areas here that just recently got power back and even a few still without power at all. The timing of this nor-easter is going to suck for a lot of people, I hope you get your power back before everybody has to deal with the additional hassle of what this next storm will bring.

Roommate offers to pay for my cat to get declawed/neutered along with his own. Says he will take care of it, I don't need to worry about it. After the procedure he tells me that I need to pay for it because ends up he cant afford it. $415.

This also "grinds my gears", he gets his cat, tries to convince me to get one of my own. I say no and am very adamant about it. He gets the second cat anyways, and then pawns the other cat off onto me.

I question your choice in roommate...

I've had terrible cat luck when I've been around them. My female roommate in college got one as a gift from her boyfriend and it was a little monster. My arms looked like I had been cutting myself from so many cat scratches just by trying to interact with it. My senior year roommate got one for free from a mutual friend of ours who needed to get rid of it. It was better than the first but still awful.

Cats are just awful pets. I've had two of the best experiences with the dogs I've owned/been around a lot but terrible cat experiences.

I am a dog person, but my cat is pretty awesome. Got him for free. I have trained him like a dog, and he is basically less independent than my two dogs at home.

Its not about the cat that I am upset, its the fact I could have paid $25 for his to get neutered, but he told me he would take care of it and for me not to worry about it. He then turns around and tells me that I need to pay his family $415? Pretty ******.

And njx, the GF wanted him declawed. I didn't care, just didn't want to pay for it to happen.

figure out what features you want/need, make sure the phones you're looking at have them (more of an issue due to android fragmentation), then go to a store and play with them. come back a few days later and do it again.

for instance, for me, turn-by-turn navigation was a must have. so any iphone prior to 5 was out immediately. on the other hand, if you're already fully into the apple platform, the ability to easily deal with an iphone in an existing itunes universe might be a pretty big selling point. beyond that, just playing with both interfaces can be really valuable. i like the widgets on android and don't find the interface terribly confusing, but if you don't care about the widgets and have a hard time navigating an android device, you might lean more towards apple.

People who mispronounce things. Like Whataburger. My wife and her family pronounce it WATT-aburger. When they just say what, they don't pronounce it watt, so why pronounce it like that when you say the name of the restaurant. Also, people who pronounce peanuts like pea-nits. It's a U not an I. When you pronounce it like that, it sounds like *****.

Edit: I love these censor rules. The proper term ***** is hidden but the slang verion dick is not. But when you switch genders, the proper term vagina is not censored but the slang version ***** is. It's a strange world we live in.
